Objective: To examine whether individuals' perceptions of social support (SS) from partners, other family members, and friends are associated with risk of sleep complaints and short sleep duration.
Methods: A cross-sectional and prospective study with 1,688 community dwelling adults from the Retirement and Sleep Trajectories study. Four annual, self-administered questionnaires were mailed to participants in the year 2010-2014. Self-reports of individuals' perceptions of SS were obtained at the baseline survey. Sleep quality and duration were self-reported on each of the four surveys over the follow-up. Associations were examined with mixed-effect models, controlling for confounders.
Results: In fully adjusted analyses, compared with those reporting low SS from their partner, the risk of reporting more than 1 sleep symptom was significantly lower among those with intermediate (relative risk, RR = 0.68; 95% confidence interval, CI = 0.53-0.87) and high SS (RR = 0.61; 95% CI=0.48-0.77). Similarly, relative to those with low SS, those reporting high SS from family (RR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.57-0.94) and friends (RR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.58-0.92) had lower risk of having more than 1 sleep symptom. Compared with those with low, intermediate (RR = 0.70; 95% CI = 0.52-0.96), and high SS (RR = 0.63; 95% CI = 0.48-0.84) from partners, intermediate (RR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.59-0.97) and high SS (RR = 0.69; 95% CI = 0.51-0.92) from family and high SS (RR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.56-0.99) from friends were associated with lower risk of short sleep (≤6 h).
Conclusion: The perception of higher SS from relatives and friends is independently associated with lower risk of poor sleep quality and short sleep duration. Future research and intervention studies should test whether strengthening social relationships can positively effect sleep health.

Purpose: To assess early and midterm outcomes of iliac branch device (IBD) implantation without an aortic stent-graft for the treatment of isolated common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA).
Methods: From December 2006 to June 2016, 49 isolated CIAAs in 46 patients were treated solely with an IBD at 7 vascular centers. Five patients were lost to follow-up, leaving 41 male patients (mean age 72.

Objective: The GORE EXCLUDER Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE; W. L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) is an iliac branch stent graft system designed to preserve internal iliac artery perfusion during endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysms (AIAs) and common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms (CIAAs).

Objectives: To assess expansion rate of common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAAs) and define outcomes after open repair (OR) and endovascular repair (EVAR).
Methods: Clinical data of 438 patients with 715 CIAAs treated between 1986 and 2005 were retrospectively reviewed. Size, presentations, treatments, and outcomes were recorded.

A quantitative fluid-phase radioassay for autoantibodies reacting with insulin (competitive insulin autoantibody assay, CIAA) was developed. The assay's features include 1) use of a physiologic amount of 125I-labeled insulin, 2) parallel incubations with supraphysiologic cold insulin (competitive), and 3) an incubation time of 7 days and a single-step multiple-wash polyethylene glycol separation. Mean +/- SE CIAA levels in 50 controls were 8 +/- 1.
